General thoughts and ideas for expansion and improvement
This article clearly needs more from diagrams to content to citations. As far as diagrams, this article could use a map showing where the ridge used to exist and what plates it was near and etc. For content, we need a more clear timeline of the evolution of this ridge from when it was at its prime to its eventual subduction to the remnants and legacy of the ridge today. Apparently this ridge was also really productive in producing a lot of oceanic lithosphere so a whole section could be made on this topic alone. Here are some topics with references that I want to add to this page.

More history on the ridge including better timeline of when it subducted beneath the North American plate. (30 MA)

Productivity of the ridge was high- it accounts for almost 45% of oceanic lithosphere created since 83 MA.

Greater details on legacy of the ridge like how San Andreas Fault formed and etc.

More references needed- preferably ones that are not journals or textbooks since that is what we have so far. Cadotc (talk) 06:01, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
